  • Microbial ecology of natural and technical systems.
  • Biofilms and other spatially structured and heterogeneous systems.
  • Activity and physiological adaptation of microorganisms under various conditions (starvation, stress, predation, symbiosis).
  • Consortia of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and their physiological and metabolic interactions.
  • Interaction of microorganisms with invertebrate hosts.
  • Associations and interactions of bacteria and fungi.
  • Metabolism of anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms (degradation potential, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites).
